Episode 47: Grove Winery 2007 Nebbiolo

North Carolina Wine TV Review:
Probably more than any other North Carolina winery we have had requests to review wine from Grove Winery. The 2007 Grove Winery Nebbiolo did not disappoint us and well represented all of the grove winery fans. On the nose this wine smells like blackberry, herbs, snap peas as well as other green vegetables. In the mouth, this wine is bone dry, leaving your mouth feeling almost like a cotton ball. However, it is perfectly balanced with flavors of fresh cherries, bacon, coca powder, coffee, and a deep complexity.

Rating: ★★★★☆

according to the North Carolina Wine Ratings Scale

Price: $18

Availability:
Directly from the winery

About Grove Winery 2007 Nebbiolo (from the winery)
This is the same grape that goes into Italy’s famous and expensive Barolo wines which thrives in the warmth of our Guilford County estate vineyard, resulting in a big, robust red wine. We have only 1/2 an acre (336 vines) of Nebbiolo planted at the winery.

This very dry, deep red wine starts with hints of cherry and cream and finishes with spice and roses with a nice balance of acid and fruit.

About Grove Winery (from the winery):
Grove Winery is located 7 miles northeast of the Greensboro city limits and about 20 minutes from downtown Greensboro. From award winning vineyards, first planted in 1993, exceptional wines are grown and crafted. The 44 acre Guilford County farm features a small, artisan winery and the estate vineyards which are located on sloping, mineral rich land in the Haw River Valley wine country. The estate vineyards feature wine grapes that thrive in this microclimate: Merlot, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Cab Franc, Traminette and Tempranillo. We also own a mountain vineyard 65 miles north of the winery near Smith Mountain, VA where we grow grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Norton which benefit from cooler weather.

All grapes are hand harvested and used for a limited production of about 3000 cases of premium wine each year. A short drive from anywhere in the Triad or Triangle, our tasting room is located at the winery and is open year-round for tours, tastings, picnics and special events.

    A video of the “grape stomping” trip by a group of Wine Authorities customers. Good intro by Max Lloyd on the vineyard.

    Thanks for the sharing the Grape Stomp video. Definitely a good introduction to Grove, plus it looks like fun.

    Thanks for reviewing our ‘07 Nebbiolo. It was 100% estate grown at our Guilford County vineyard. The Haw River Valley AVA was not in existance when we bottled this wine, so by law we couldn’t put the words “Estate Grown” on the bottle, but future vintages will have this designation. We will be harvesting the 2009 Nebbiolo tomorrow.
